Saturday morning: To Peoria.
Saturday afternoon: From Peoria.
Sunday afternoon: To Peoria.
Monday morning: From Peoria.
1200 miles, give or take.
The reason? Bringing a friend from Peoria to Ames for E-Ball & general visiting. We stopped in Iowa City on the way back, raided RagStock and Dick Blick (really nice art store). I have more bright shirts to wear and blind people with, and Jessica has a massive amount of new art supplies.
I've also learned that if I'm going to be selling my '7, I need to stop driving it. I enjoy taking it out on the highway far too much, even if going the speed limit (or somewhere close to it) really isn't any fun. I run in perpetual fear of vehicles closing on me from behind, because at my normal speed, there's only one type of vehicle that will be coming up quickly on me, and it usually has flashing lights that go on at some point.
Fuel economy in my car is largely dependent on windows & AC settings. With the AC on and windows shut, I get 25-27mpg. With the windows & sunroof open, I get 20-22mpg. Slight difference there...
Coming soon will be various thoughts of mine on a variety of topics (a series of sorts).
